tires and wheels Picture Request -- Sahara w/ various wheels

[douce02]

Can people post pics of their Sahara 2002's with Alpina, Rota RB, e21 Turbine, Basketweaves or any other setup that they may have? I am trying to get an idea of what I want to go with. Some wheels look good with darker color cars and pics of Sahara's seem few and far between. Thanks for your help.

Here are the basket-weaves on my '76 Sahara. I'd also be interested in seeing other wheel options...

This isn't my Sahara car, but I liked the look so I saved it. I liked the look so much I found a set of Alpina wheels for my Schwarz car.

[douce02]

yes the Alpina's look nice on the Sahara. here is what i have now that i am not too fond of.

Here are some other tan cars that have different wheels (found on my comp)

Hope it helps

Here's 15" Alpina replica's on my 74 tii. I'm running 195/50-15 tires on these wheels. I had 14" E30 basketweaves before I put the 15" wheels on my tii. I got tired of replacing the center caps on my basketweaves due to them bouncing off (I have a very stiff suspension) or some low life stealing them. At $65 each, that gets old real quick.

Those look great man (I've got the same wheels

BTW What type of paint was used for those rear drums? I'd love to do mine like that.

Those are nice. Did you have to roll the fenders? What size tires, 45?

-- Replicas look great. Where did you pick those up? What is the width and offset?

I found mine in the Portland Craigslist last Nov. they came with new Falken Ziex tires, I paid $625 for a set of 4 with new mounted tires. I flew up to Portland to buy a 81 Euro spec E12 and I picked them up while I was there. Sweet deal!

No pix, but I had turbines orig. then I had some old steelies blasted & I repainted them & put on some new Yokohamas. I like the orig. steelie look. The turbines just look wrong. The look fine on the E21 somehow.
